Comment on What happens if I never activate Windows?
KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 6 months agoThis basically just keeps companies from using unlicensed Windows for business. Also, Microsoft does go after businesses who are unlicensed. They didn’t give a duck about private users cause that’s not where they’re making money.

You say this but my local boba tea place their touch screen order thingie has Windows’ unlicensed watermark over it but I think even their customers are too Dutch to care (me included, I actually love them for it!)

They probably prefer consumers running pirated Windows over consumers running Linux. As long as most people are more familiar/comfortable with using Windows than Linux, the more likely companies are to not even look at alternatives.
